THE LATE GEN'L RIPLEY.

1
The death of Gen'l R. s. Ripley carries
US back to the day of the struggle in the
Charleston harbor. He was the first
officer of military education who address.
ed himself to its defense. Anderson
destroyed the offensive power of Fort
Moultrie when he removed to Sumter.
Ripley put it in fighting trim with won-
derful energy. The writer happened to
be present when Ripley asked of Gov.
Pickens to exercise his men at the guns
and burn q little powder. The refusal
was persistent and l could not but smile
when Ripley carried his point, which he
did by saying that be had some dan1ao-
ed powder, which 1t would not be- wen
to rely on in action. Perhaps the next
day, having gone with Gen1 Beauregard
down Light House Inlet, past Black Is
land to Morris Island, we were surprised
as we rode up the beach by the display
from Moultrie. From right to left the
guns flashed out with rapidity and
regularity as if its old well trained gar.
rison was there. 1t showed that a mas
ter mind and willing hands had been at
work. The damaged powder plainly

thence on Ripley applied his wonderful
powers physical and mental to the work
Of defense. When years after and the
fearful attack of the iron clads had been
sustained, the most perfect thing to be
praised seemed to be the men and Off
GERS engaged. Gen'l Beauregard did well
when he extolled them, ut to many of
US he seemed strangely to forget the
officer who had formed them. To their
honor be it said they themselves never
forgot him. Should his body come by
sea as it passes among tie forts and
through the harbor, 30 long the scene of
his successful labors it will move to be
met by men as true to him as he was to
them. No prouder Arc of triumph was
ever raised man that of the harbor en-
trance to Charleston will ever be for
Ripley. No soldier of the war will move
along filter pathway to his resting place
than he. 1t is allowable for military
men to be ambitious. Some think it
necessary that they should be and so it
comes to pass that many there are who
in the divide of the laurels cease to be
just In nothing was Genl Ripley's
character more marked than this. He
gave perfect credit to those under him or
about him. To remark made IT, 1t no

A Ministerial Opponent of
Prohibition.

1t has SO often happened thai
ministers have been conspicuous in
their advocacy of prohibition that
the sight of one opposing it is a nov.
city. Rev. John Snyder, however
appears in the April number of the
Forum in strong paper against
prohibition.
He states his conclusion we'll thus
"In the minds of thoughtful peo-
pie, then, are we not abundantly
justified in our conviction that the
cause of temperance has grown as
rapidly as any other social reform
in this country? The very sensitis-
ing CT the public conscience W hich
makes so vivid and awful the evils
of intemperance. and minimises in
the imagination the gigantic efforts
being made for their removal, is a
most valuable part of the moral
education we have been unconscious
ly receiving during a half century
of national life. But a sensitive and
inflamed conscience is not always
so often the safest guide in deter
mining what shall be the character
and course of social reforms. 1t too
frequently finds its moral satisfaction
i'll hasty, immature, if not violent
activities. 1t is not grateful task,
and certainly not popular one, to
underestimate, even in seeming, the
awful evils of the drink-habit. They
are sufficiently enormous to COM
mand for their extirpation the ut
most energy and wisdom of every
lover of his country and his kind,
But have they so far outstripped in
growth and power the wholesome
forces must be practically abandon'
ed for legal measure which seeks
to curb the license of the vicious
by destroying the rational liberty o
the virtuousa Surely not. Such I
confession would impeach Chris
tianity itself. 1t would, moreover
defeat the end it had in view.

JUDGE JAMEs H Ga-s=4ro=-.
The Greenville N. G. Reflector
says:
Everybody is praising Judge
Merrimon for the able manner in
which he presides over our courts
and for his answering adherence
to the law. He goes for offenders in
NO uncertain way, and convinces
them that violators of the law may
expect the prescribed penalty to be
imposed upon them. This has a
good effect. We have frequently
noticed where those wearing the ju-
dicial ermine were entirely too leni-
ent, and let offenses pass with the
slightest Punishment admissible.
Such penalties have no tendency
to decrease crime, but rather, dis
miss whatever fears offenders might
have against repetition of violations.
Not 80 WITH Judge Merrimon, and
though this is only the second court
he has held here, his dealings with
criminals has already produced
such an effect a-to be felt throughout
the county. A marked decrease in
crime is perceptible. North Carroll
ma needs more such h'judges as James
H. Merrimon."
